Onyx Connectors
40+ tools, continuously indexed in the background. Unlike MCP connectors, Onyx pre-indexes everything for instant, comprehensive, permission-aware answers.
Indexed connectors vs. MCP
Indexed connectors vs. MCP
MCP connectors fetch data live when you ask a question. That means slow responses, incomplete results, and no way to search across sources. Onyx takes a fundamentally different approach.
Onyx: Indexed Connectors
+
Continuously syncs data in the background
+
Instant answers across all connected sources
+
Permission-aware: users only see what they can access
+
Hybrid search combines semantic + keyword retrieval
+
Works even when source systems are slow or down
MCP: Live Query
-
Fetches data at query time via API calls
-
Slow: limited to what a single API call returns
-
No cross-source search in a single query
-
No permission syncing across tools
-
Fails when source systems are slow or rate-limited

Permission-aware by default
Permission-aware by default
Onyx syncs access control lists from your source systems automatically. Users only see answers sourced from documents they are authorized to view in the original tool.
No manual configuration. No separate permission layer to maintain. Your existing security policies carry over to AI search.
